The Philippines previously hosted the DGCA 2015, during the 52nd DGCA.
The country’s hosting and chairmanship of this event is CAAP’s pledge to its mission of ensuring a safe, secure and green Philippine Sky and is confirmation of the country’s efforts to stimulate collaboration and partnership among neighboring states, organizations, and stakeholders.
